Birds need feeding more than ever in this cold, snowy, freezing weather. The ground feeders are particularly at risk. Haven’t seen any chaffinches for a few days. Have spread seed under bushes for dunnocks and apples out for balckbirds.
High energy food – ie peanuts, suet blocks and fat balls, is a must – however, my fatballs are frozen!!! Blue tits still having a go at them though.

FARMING FOR WILDLIFE ESCAPES CUTS BUT DEFRA DOESN’T!

Apparently, funding for wildlife friendly farming has escaped government cuts!!

BUT the environment agency have lost out – they are responsible for looking after rivers in England and Wales. 30 per cent equals a decrease of 700m.

Hi Helen, I agree that birds need supplemental food from bird feeders during the winter months in places where it gets cold or snowy! The birds will be happy. Also unless there is a natural water source that does not freeze, it is nice to provide a bird bath (heated if necessary) for the birds to use for drinking. Have a wonderful day today – love the blog!
